Increased Expenses, Same Income Poses Major Problem forASUO Rumors had it that tin cups and pencils were on their way to the Oregon campus today following Tuesday afternoon's cabinet dis cussion of the budget. That sum of money, according to Bill Carey, A KUO president, is already spread as thin as it will go. Budget for the coming year for the executive branch amounts to $1640, exactly the amount allo cated the Executive council foi several years past. Of that sum $850 is fixed for salaries with $690 left to be used for Dad's day ($50), Mother's Day ($50), Pacific Coast Press association ($125), Oregon Collegiate Leaders conference ($25), ASUO banquet ($150), peti tions ($201, ballots ($40) and of-' fice supplies ($250).

The afternoon assembly featured a brief talk by head football coach I Len Casanova and an introduction j of the assistant coaches and mem | bers of the football squad.

The assembly closed with a few yells and the singing of "Mighty ! Oregon". to general funds at the end or last year. Carey explained increased cost would be near inevitable owing to the increased number of partici pants in student government plus the expansion of that government itself. And the opinion was sec onded by Director of Student Af fairs Donald DuShane. "Student government has many functions it did not have before,” Blood Donor Cards j Due Today Student blood donor pledge cards are to be returned today either to the box provided near the main entrance of the Co-op or to Kappa Alpha Theta.

A copy of this blood donors' re lease statement is furnished in to day's Emerald. Students may clip the release and mail it to parents ! for signature. Pipelaying Mishap Slashes Cables Of Campus Phones Source of Monday’s University evchange phone trouble was lo cated Tuesday, when the physi cal plant discovered that a pipe being run under 13th street in front of Fenton Hall hit the phone lines, damaging several of them. Workmen had to evacuate a large hole in the street and with what resembled an Indian teepee i over the hole to protect them from the elements, were repair ing the damage late Tuesday. DuShanc said, “and the University is better off because of it.’’ One cabinet member. Emerald Editor Lorn a Larson, suggested consolidation of the ASUO budget. Many groups and functions in A3 1 UO, she said, operate under sepa rate allotments and raise funds only for themselves. This will be brought up again in next Tuesday’s meeting. Generally disfavorable discussion centered around last summer's Oregon Picnic at Jantzen Beach. The alumni office, DuShane re ported, felt the expense had not been justified. Picnic Discussed “Other means of contacting prospective students might bo more successful,” he said. He also suggested the picnic should be self supporting or financed by the AS UO. Carey said approximately $200 was donated by the Portland Alumni club and the Mother's and Dad's clubs. Total attendance at the picnic was put at about 600. Carey announced that Roger Nudd had been appointed to the Publications board replacing Anita. Holmes. A replacement on the As sembly Committee is also needed for Leslie Tooze, graduate assist ant, who dropped from school this week. Court Not Functioning Discussion of the new student court revealed that body has not yet began to function, but, Carey said, the “grace period” for traf fic violations will be over shortly . He termed the student court traf j fic tickets “a break” for students. ; Cars parked in “no parking” areas | without student stickers, however , will be towed away by the police. Plans for freshman class organi zation were again being talked. It was reported freshmen have at leady organized under a tempor ary basis but regular elections are possible after the fifth week of school. Under the constitution the 1 freshman class elects officers win 1 ter term. To Join or Not to Join... Over 300 Schools Belong to NSA (Ktl. Note: This Is the first of two articles explaining the organization and workings of the National Students association. Membership in NS A will be discussed by the ASUO Senate in its meeting Thursday night. Through these articles, the Emerald hopes to give Or< g gon students some knowledge of the organization.) * * * By Al Karr What is the National Students association and what can it mean to Oregon students? Last spring the Executive Council—now replaced by the ASUO Senate—voted to join NSA and to send dele gates to the organiaztion convention in August. However, due to financial and other difficulties, neither was done. Now the Senate is debating the question of joining NSA. 800 Colleges Are Members NSA, with a membership of more than 300 colleges and universities in the United States, is an organization of college student bodies represented through their student governments. It was formed to represent college students of the United States, and to promote their interests and welfare. A student from UCLA, who attended the fourth Na tional Student Congress, held at the University of Minne sota in August, said this about NSA: . . to me NSA is stiU the most promising field of student gvoernment. Sat isfaction in working with it comes from knowing that we’re working across the land to improve our universities, better our society, and maintain our civil liberties and academic freedom.” What activities of NSA prompted the student to express this belief? The broad NSA program is headed by its annual Na tional Student Congress, which is the highest body within the NSA structure. Its delegates arc elected on member campuses, elect the national NSA officers, decide NSA policies, and guide the work of the association. The dele gates also confer on student government programs, in ad dition to the national and international problems under discussion. Resolutions Passed In August, the more than 500 delegates discussed col lege, national, and international problems and expressed their convictions in votes upon the issues. Typical resolu tions favored: Universal Military Training at the present time, and a minority report against UMT, Re-affirmation of NSA’s stand on academic freedom, urging that no teacher be dismissed without being made aware of the causes and without being given the oppor tunity to defend himself, Student Assistance Program Continuation of the Student Mutual Assistance pro gram, a project developed at the Stockholm meeting of representatives of national student unions, Condemnation of the technique known as ”McCarthy ism,” pointing out that the technique is characterized by guilt-by-association and scattershot charges. Orignally formed by 25 American students returning from the World Student Congress in Czechoslovakia in 1946, NSA now occupies a position in the nation which led its president for 1950-51, A1 Lowenstcin, from the Uni versity of North Carolina, to term it the “voice of Amer ican students." (Lowenstcin twice spoke to the Executive Council last spring about NSA.) Sponsors WSSF NSA is one of the six sponsoring agencies of the Woi Id Student Service Fund, for which a campus drive is held every year at Oregon to raise money for students of some country. A member of the National Commission for UNESCO. NSA is also the only student member of the National Education Association and American Council on Educa tion, and has spoken for American students informally and formally with the State Department and U.S. Office of Education on matters affecting them. Its work included a role in helping formulate the present college student deferment program. The program of NSA is carried out on three levels nationally, regionally, and locally, the latter through stu dent government. Three commissions operate, on Student Life, Educational Problems, and International Affairs. Program Extended Internationally NSA has extended its program internationally. Student leaders from 21 nations met in Stockholm, Sweden, in December, 1950, to discuss ways of drawing the students ol the world closer together. Lowenstein represented the United States at Stockholm. In addition to the broad programs of the commissions, NSA maintains a national subeommisison on Academic (' Please turn to page three)
